The article is part of military news. It's not off topic or pro PRC by any stretch of the imagination. Hijiki should explain why it is pro-PRC when it clearly has to do with Japan and Russia. How does leaving a Japan military news article leave an air of pro-PRC tone in the thread?? lol If you want to write a rebuttal to the article please do. I very much doubt moderators will ban or delete the post seeing as it would be a response to the very much on topic military news.
This is in contrast to the obvious name calling and trolling that was happening before. Please don't confuse yourself. Responding to article is okay. Calling other members PRC trolls just because they hold a different opinion is not okay... especially when their posts were pretty balanced and did not provoke with territorial disputes. Unlike your posts which were deleted Hijiki.
This is the opening of the article:
"MOSCOW — Russia’s foreign minister says the U.S.-Japan security alliance poses “a problem” for Russia-Japan relations and complicates peace treaty talks.
The two countries have been struggling to negotiate a peace treaty after World War II because of a territorial dispute. The Soviet Union took the four southernmost Kuril Islands during the final days of the war, which Japan asserts territorial rights to."
To comment on that is to expand why the US-Japan alliance continues. And to anyone that knows something about the Kuril islands should know that elaborating the northern territory issue means more history discussion which is going to trigger political discussion.
The articke was a statement by a Russian official about the northern territories. There's nothing about Japanese training, Japanese military development, or Japanese capabilities. In nature, it is a geopolitical article
